Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12 (weather permitting), the Illinois Department of Transportation will implement daytime lane closures on 159th St (Route 6) over the Bishop Ford (I-94) in South Holland and Calumet City. On weekdays from 9am-3pm, traffic approaching the expressway will be reduced to one lane in each direction through September 1. Heavy congestion is expected.
Consider using alternate routes such as 170th St or Sibley Boulevard to avoid the 159th St/I-94 interchange area.
Thank you for your patience as IDOT continues its much-needed improvements to the Bishop Ford expressway.
